Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Startup Graveyard?

The Startup Graveyard is a database of 2,293 venture-backed startups that have shut down. For each company it tracks the founders, total funding raised, last round, top investors, industry, headquarters, and what the company was building.

How many failed startups are in the database?

The graveyard currently tracks 2,293 closed companies that collectively raised $147.2B in venture funding before shutting down. Operating status is monitored continuously, so newly closed companies are added as they are identified.

What are the biggest startup failures?

The largest failure in the database by capital raised is Cruise, which raised $16.0B before shutting down. Sort the table by amount raised to see every big flameout.

Why do startups fail?

The most common reasons startups fail are building something nobody needs, running out of cash before finding product-market fit, losing to competition, team breakdowns, and failed fundraises. Studying closed companies in your market is one of the fastest ways to learn which failure modes actually occur.

Can I contact founders of failed startups?

Founder names for every closed company are shown free on this page. VCbacked paid plans reveal verified founder contact details where available and unlock CSV export of the full graveyard — useful for recruiters, investors backing second-time founders, and researchers.

Can I export the failed startup data?

Yes. VCbacked subscribers can export the entire Startup Graveyard to CSV — every closed company with founders, funding history, investors, industry, and location. The preview on this page is free and requires no login.

Who uses the Startup Graveyard?

Recruiters source newly available talent from shut-down startups. Investors track second-time founders and study failure patterns in a sector before investing. Founders research why competitors died. Journalists and researchers use it for post-mortem analysis.
